Here's how it works

1. Complete and email back a brief document, explaining what you need.
2. During three sessions, our marketing consultant will sit down with you and guide you through the decision-making process, enabling us to maximise your investment.
3. Our consultant will recommend a template and functions which best suit your business. The consultant will walk you through a real, working prototype so you know that it works for you.
4. Once the prototype is approved, we introduce you to one of our dedicated developers who will customise your site and take it live.

You will need to...

• Provide your company logo and colours, preferrably in illustrator format.
• Provide the text, images and video to go on the website before we begin production.
• Upload the content yourself. We will teach you some basic html and image editing.
• Purchase the URL + domain hosting directly.

Puma life scoreboard iPhone apps lets users pit ideas, which others can vote for or against.

The app is the latest component of the Puma Social campaign, celebrating the "after-hours" athlete.

The new online and mobile platform allows users to create instant scoreboards on the fly, to rate anything they do, with anyone they interact with. The scoreboards live on Lifescoreboard.com.

I've seen a few of these kinds of videos like Manslator, where businesses use fake products to attract attention to their service offer. Manslator is a video that examines differences between the sexes.

 

 

Created for Converse is an augemented reality app called The Sampler, which allows consumers to check out a Converse shoe's aesthetic value, without visiting a store. Just hold the iPhone over your foot. Only problem is you'll never know how the shoe feels. That will be in the next app generation.

Kind of reminds of the augmented reality app for Tissot. http://www.firestarter.com.sg/fs_blog_entry.php?id=281
